Thanks, C-Span, for adding classical music. Gives it a bit of the "strings on the deck of the Titanic" feel.

Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 02, 2013The House is now voting on final passage of the Senate’s fiscal cliff crapwich. The traditional C-SPAN classical musical background was delayed a bit, but a cheerful piano piece soon commenced. Twitter users watching the late-night proceedings chimed in with musical commentary and more appropriate soundtrack suggestions.
Fiscal Cliff vote on C-SPAN now. The uptempo piano music seems appropriate given the scrambling lawmakers are doing to cover their butts.—

CSPAN really missing the boat on mood music for this vote. #fiscalcliff—

The classical music on CSPAN during this vote sounds like something you'd hear at the end of a weird indie flick—

Classical music during vote attempting to calm everyone down. This must be what falling off a cliff feels like?—

@michellemalkin I wish they'd play more appropriate music for votes like this. Namely, death metal.—

Perhaps the appropriate background music for this drama on Capitol Hill should be Taps…we have witnessed the death of liberty—
